JDAW - could you send the food order to the B&F please?

I expect BN55 will be very nice indeed if it follows the path of the previous BN bottles I have tasted!forest26 wrote:BN55 it is then... Looking forward to Wednesday.

Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Having discovered my proposed GC70 is actually Oporto-bottled, I can now offer a Warre '63 instead. Julian - apologies for the placemat hassles and threads already created!

Yes me too. I could bring both the W63 and the GC70, but permission required from the master.jdaw1 wrote:Announcement: I am thirsty.

I am hereby: mounting a temporary coup; declaring myself Master of All I Can Behold; accepting your utterly sensible suggestion; and then resigning Mastership in favour of Alex.flash_uk wrote:I could bring both the W63 and the GC70, but permission required from the master.
Of course, Alex will over-rule, in which case it could appear as a ‘side drink’ not officially part of the tasting.
Yes, I’m thirsty.
Re: Wed 15 June - the Fonseca 1963 Case Tasting
Sirs (and Madam)
I have encountered a small issue with the BN55 - in that I could not find it!
Can I respectfully offer another 55 - A Mackenzie bottled by J Harvey and Sons Bristol. Sorry!!!
I am looking forward to this evening - I may be a little late if todays auction overruns. If this is the case I will pass my bottle to Dia to bring in.

W63 double decanted at 1300 today, looking and smelling great.

Aiming to get to the B&F for about 5.20pm, if anyone arriving a bit early, see you there.
